1. Saying that the employer has to pay the fees and not the legal immigrant is similar to saying that by adding VAT, the consumer does not pay taxes as it is the producer that pays the taxes or that employer paid payroll taxes do not reduce the employee salaries.
Again, given ur example..by adding VAT the producer will pass the cost to the consumer by increasing the price. In this case what will the employer do - pass the cost to employee by what - reducing the salary? But employer are legally supposed to pay as current labor rate, they cannot go below that. If employees agree to that (which is wrong) then the employee (in this immgrants by ur post) have nothing to complain. If the reduce salary is not ok to the employee he can seek other opportunities - its free market for the highly skilled candidates.
2. This law does not address that the companies prove anything just randomly increases a fee/tax. This law, randomly increases cost of essential services to the US. Worse, if the cost goes up, it might reduce the number of people employed in the US (even though they are immigrants they are still employed in the US). Though some might argue that adding few employees might reduce the salaries for the US people a little, it is debatable if paying the higher salary might actually be loss making and thus eliminate that economic acticvity entirely.
The adminstration has promised to pull troops. Once they are back miltary/va (i.e. govt) will sponser them to go to school and get degrees so that they can reenter the mainstream. Where will jobs come from for these ppl? They are creating (dis)-incentive for employer to higher foreign candidates.... (If foreign made cars are made enough costly by adding taxes ..people will automatically buy local brands Maruti, Premier, etc..thus spurring local growth) ?
3. As far as I know USCIS is self funded based on the fees it collects and some of the fees collected is payed towards retraining of US people(who can take these high skilled jobs). Using this money for border security would be completely unrelated. Even when high income people are asked to pay higher taxes, the argument is affordability and not witch-hunting.
- This does not mean it should be always running in a loss or a no-profit-no-loss? There is no harm if USCIS (as a org) turns some decent profit and sends it back to the adminstration (DHS) to be used by DHS for its own activities...

IV should be ready to compromise
IV should forget about the increase in H1
just get the SKIL bill passed...
and support the border and law enforcement bill
forget about any other provisions
after all what people need is lesser immigration....we have to act now
push for one of the following
1) remove hard country quota
2) SKIL bill ( no numbers for people with advanced US degree)
3) no counting of dependends against numbers
concentrate ON JUST ONE of the above not all...that is asking too much
if we dont act now we are all screwed.
and by the way CIR is dead....it is the border bill we are talking about

In the June 2007 VB, dates went from Jan 2003 to Apr 2004 - 15 month jump. I know of at least a dozen personal friends (EB2-India), half of whom had PDs in early 2003 and the other half had early 2004. They all had RDs within a couple of weeks of each other. One guy actually had an RD of July 18 and PD Feb 2004 - he was approved in June 2008.
Those with early 2003 PDs who applied in June 2007 were approved in 3-4 months flat - i.e by Nov 2007. Those that had an early 2004 PD were approved only in June/July 2008. I strongly feel that after last summers fiasco USCIS and DOS are more careful now. They would process the case based on RD but approve it based on PDs ONCE a visa number is available. The evidence, personal and from , seems to bear this out. Also read this post by Nixstor. If you ignore the VB prediction part, he says that the USCIS and DOS are in regular weekly touch and have a much better idea of the demand and usage rate.

I agree with delax,
USCIS / DOS are definitely being more careful about this, the law requires that cases be given Visa numbers according to PD. USCIS or DOS cannot generally violate that.

Example 1 does not contradict Example 2
In example 1, the applicant does not extend his H1B status even though he hasn't filed his I-485 yet. So the gap between his H1B expiry and I-485 filing is unlawful. We know that already. on Jan 2, 2009 he neither has a valid H1 extension nor an I-485 pending. So he is unlawful.
I agree with your decipherment of examples.

I think EB2 requires the job description to ask for people with an advanced degree.If the job description while hiring says it requires a Bachelor's degree only,can the hired person be filed under EB2 if he/she has an advanced degree?
If so,What changes are to be done by the Employer?Can they change the job requirement to ask for an advanced degree while filing for labor?Will this qualify the person to file under EB2?
Please let me know.
Thanks!

US citizens will not care about the increase in h1b fees as it does not affect them.......no amount of lobbying will help as the senate has passed the same bill earlier and will have no reason not to pass it again in sept.....moreover both the house and senate are not voting instead its a unanimous vote......The $2000 increase is here to stay.....Lets move on.

Here is the thread where two of our core team members, pappu and indio0617, confirmed this. I have seen it in the draft as well. I'll update this post with the content in the draft in a minute when I find it.

Here is the actual text of the bill:
(2) PENDING AND APPROVED PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS.�Petitions
22 for an employment-based visa filed for classification under
23 section 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Immigration and Nationality
24 Act (as such provisions existed prior to the enactment of this
25 section) that were filed prior to the date of the introduction of
26 the [Insert title of Act] and were pending or approved at the time of
27 the effective date of this section, shall be treated as if such
28 provision remained effective and an approved petition may serve
29 as the basis for issuance of an immigrant visa. Aliens with
30 applications for a labor certification pursuant to section
31 212(a)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall
32 preserve the immigrant visa priority date accorded by the date
33 of filing of such labor certification application.
GCCard_Dream, what is your source of this date. There is no date like this mentioned in the bill draft available on IV's home page.
Is there any other place where I can get latest text of this new bill ?

You are correct. Upon corresponding with Ombudsman's office, their response was also the same. Although they added we can expect an approval by end of the week. Good hing we already have an Infopass appointment scheduled for Friday morning. Do you think we should "demand" and Interim EAD or an "approval email" be provided - something my wife can carry with her on Monday to the firm that is willing to hire her? Do you think they would be nice enough to issue the "approval" email?
Infopass depends on officer, some are nice... nice in the sense they do one step further to help us. Some are just reads through the lines and repeat what we know. I would call it lucky to get expedited or any means via infopass. Only option is ask them to call NSC and check on status. That might help or even email if required. Employers generally dont ask for approval email or treat it as an approval you need to wait till the card. if that would be so we wouldnt be in this problem in the first place.

If possible ask them to join IV , which is a unique place for all of us.
If we know how many sending flowers we can add number to the poll count.
Thanks,

11/17/2006: SHOCKS! The House Will Stay Adjourned From 11/20/06 (Monday) thru 12/04/2006!!
It is shocking that the House will go into a dormant stage beginning from November 20, next Monday, through December 04, 2006, Monday, and there will be no floor session until December 5, 2006, Tuesday. We thought they would spend busy days next two or three weeks.
Does IV have any comment on this development?
Hello,
Lame duck session will be for two weeks i.e. week of Dec 4th and the week of Dec 11th. This means from Dec 4th to Dec 15th. Congress usually operates half of Monday and Friday as parliamentarians have to come from out of town. So this is normal. It would still be two weeks of Congress in the lame duck session. We will put an update if anything would change.
Thanks,
WaldenPond

People waiting to file their I-485 also need some kind of relief.
Pappu/Admin -
Is there any way that people can file their I-485's after their I-140 is approved ? It would be great to have an EAD and not worry about the H1 visa.
Thank you.
I hope that there is some relief on this count. Does anybody have any updates on pre-filing. Any news is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I think the calculator based on USCIS data is correct, or very close to correct. Once USCIS released the data I quickly started calculating how far I am. After adding Phillippines, China, Mexico and India, I figured there was about 32,000 pending apps before me. That would mean I should be able to adjust in late Summer 2010 or September. the IV tool showed my place in queue at 30800 and, said I should be able to adjust in September next year. So I think the tool based on USCIS data works fine.

Being half indian/italian i can see the indian pessimistic nature rearing its ugly head about the May 21st date,there is no bill signed yet,but still everybody is acting like its the end for anybody who has not filed 1-140.I talked to my lawyer on Thursday and he said that if CIR does pass there is no way USICS can deny an approved or filed 1-140 and there has never been any immigration law that affects retroactively to existing filed applications.Imagine all the lawsuits of people who have spent money getting there LC and 1-140 approved.
Next week i will be filing 1-140 and 1-485 consecutively and i am sure there thousands along with me who will have a class action lawsuit if this stupid rule actually see daylight.
Chill out and think positive plaese(i waited 6 yrs just to get my LC certified so i know what suffering is).
